Question 1

covers the plant body, consists of epidermis

Answer 1

dermal tissue

Question 2

single layer cells that make up the epidermis

Answer 2

parenchyma

Question 3

prevents water loss by transpiration

Answer 3

epidermis

Question 4

waxy material produced by epidermis

Answer 4

cuticle

Question 5

opening in the epidermis on the underside of a leaf where gases are exchanged

Answer 5

stomata

Question 6

sausage-shaped found on each side of stomata to help open and close pore to prevent water loss

Answer 6

guard cells

Question 7

functions primarily in storage, support, photosynthesis and the production of defensive and attractive substance

Answer 7

ground tissue

Question 8

3 types of ground tisse

Answer 8

parenchyma
collenchyma
slerenchyma

Question 9

cells have thin primary walls and forms the “filler” tissue in the soft parts of the plant

Answer 9

parenchyma

Question 10

cells have thin primary walls with secondary thickening; provides extra structural support, allows plant to bend without breaking

Answer 10

collenchyma

Question 11

dead cells with no protoplasm have thick lignified secondary walls; provides main structural support to plant

Answer 11

sclerenchyma

Question 12

these are dividing cells, found in the zones of the plant where growth takes place

Answer 12

meristems or meristematic cells

Question 13

3 main types of mesistematic tissues

Answer 13

apical
intercalary
lateral

Question 14

the conductive or “plumbing” system of the plant

Answer 14

vascular tissue

Question 15

transports carbohydrates from leaves to other parts of the plant

Answer 15

phloem

Question 16

distributes water and mineral ions taken up by the root the the stem and leaves

Answer 16

xylem

Question 17

Causes primary growth

Occurs at the tips of shoots and roots

Answer 17

Apical meristems

Question 18

Causes secondary growth
Occurs at cambium
Produces bark on trees

Answer 18

Lateral meristems

Question 19

Found flesh of fruit like pears

Also in pips of fruit and shells of nuts

Answer 19

Scleroid/stone cells
